So I had my sleeve on 10/5 and feel pretty good. Definitely still bloated but I think after I have a BM I will feel better. Anyway my dr has me on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks. My birthday is this Thursday, anyone think it's ok to have ice cream cake at this point?

Why'd you bother with surgery if you're going to continue eating junk?

I was rethinking my quick answer. The answer is still no, but I also wanted to support you in rethinking your relationship with food. We all need to re-establish our relationship with food. For many of us food is our reward, our celebration, our "I earned it". Your desire to Celebrate with ice cream is what our norm is but we have to look at food with a different perception post surgery. Food is what we need to sustain our new healthy living. Our reward is our health and being able to do things better and the ability to do new things. I want to wish you a happy birthday. Please Celebrate your birthday with a wonderful activity with those you love. Now that's a celebration!

@@mallnut No, I don't think it's okay to have ice cream cake while you're on liquids. I'd consider a bite or 2 of ice cream cake once I'm in maintenance and not a day before.

Honestly, this is about changing the way you relate to food. Eating can't continue to be a knee-jerk reaction to the desire to Celebrate and we have to find new ways to spend social time with friends and family. It's hard...most of us have spent our lives equating food with happiness, or sadness, or celebrations, or all of the above. But if we're going to spend the money and take the risk to have this surgery, we owe it to ourselves to finish the job by changing our habits, too.

That said, I hope you have a very happy and healthy birthday!

Let me ask you this...

What would be a better happy birthday gift to yourself? Complying with your surgeon's diet to ensure your better health or a few bites of ice cream cake (on liquids!!)? Only YOU can decide what gift YOU are worth.

Oh wow, that's a legitimate shake. I thought at first it was cold stone ice vream with just Protein added. Haha. I'm trying to find some good tasting ones. That one probably has more than the 200ish calories I'm after but maybe on a Sunday or something.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
